position of the President, or with the condition
of public sentiment. It threatened a violation
of w :l-<b fined principles, and a total paralysis
of the ■ i-• • *ipowers of the government. It ren
d red ; mp -siblethat unity of action without which
the h-- l efforts are unavailing and fruitless. It

in_. giiuta; a compromi-e voluntary and uncalled

carrying into the enumils of the President the
noxious vapors of local strife and contention. Un

unity of the Cabinet on the great issues of the can

tioi:—they arc juste* uritrustworthy,jatlas viaious

In all thi* there is a lesson. The President,
though unsuccessful so far, ha* not forfeited pub
lid confidence nor essentially impaired hiscupacid
for good. No man knows l etter than he tiiat the
people of the United States gave, in the recent
election, an unmistakable verdict in favor of the
integrity of the constitution, and as unmistaka
bly in utter condemnation of the whole brood of
extremists, of whatever color or shade. When he
undertakes, then, to enter judgment, uttd to c.di
•forth execution, it is bis moral duty to place 'hat
process in the hand* of no higher law t.natic, but
into those whose faith has been illustrated in works
—whose fidelity to tho constitution reaches far
enough into it* history to show that patriotism and
not official patronage, is the power that sway
them.
The Journal of Commerce too, was an ardent ad
vocate of Gen. Pibrcb’s election, and it seems
now to feel that it ha* committed a capital error,
for which it evidently desires in some degree to
atone. licncc, wc find in it tho following article,
from a New Yorker, alaoademocrat, who voted for
tlie President:
"We are witnessing a new spectacle among us—
the moral prostration of a new President during
the first six months of hia administration. Gene
ral Pierce ia the first American President who has
lost ground in tho beginning of hia government:
tho first who lias either been deserted by his otigi
nal friends or boooine to anything like such an ex
tent obnoxious to the public. That General Pierce
lias gone down in tho public esteem, and lost the
prestige wliich uttendc'l hia assumption of political
power, will not bo denied; nor that lie ins most
directly and powerfully contributed to the dismem
berment ot the Democratic party. It is none the
loss certain that out of this anomulou- state oi
things consequences are likely to come which may
materially ulicct our foriegn policy, and thereby
the fortunes of commerce in oilier countries.
in common witli the rest of the country, 1 looked
with favor upon the nomination of General Pierce,
because lie represented a great principle, which
was to be jealously maintained—tho integrity of
the union of these Slates. Opposed as our best
citizens and wisest politician always have been to
Hie choice of now and untired men for high sta
tions, n vast proportion of tho Democratic par
ty would have proforred tho nomination of
some one of onr experienced statesman, who had
ucliiovod an honorable fame by well-known ser
vices to tho country. But harmony could ho se
cured only by bringing into tlie field u now man;
and there certainly wus no one who gave fairer pro
mise than General Pierce. lio was nominated l.y
acclamation, and the national Democratic party
everywhere abandoned itself to tho most confident
hopes. Ho stood forth before the country as the
representative of the grand idea of nationality,
He seems to havo perfectly understood hia position.
11l a letter to tho Mayor of Boston, after his elec
tion, ho Baid that “ho knew iio was neither nomi
nated nor elected for any personal qualifications,
but us a reliable representative of the national sen
timent.” Ho fell thia. He had nevei been largely
in publio life; he wus consequently not very much
known as apolitical man. When Ids star ruso
over tho country tho mists of uncertainty hung bo
f„re it, and, like other objects seen through a mist,
it loomed tip in undue proportions. But these
mists arc gono now, and the object can bo survey
ed witli accuracy. No President could ever ex
pect such a majority aa he had. The party that
elevated him seemed like tho nation. As the tele
graph flashed tho nows everywhere on the night
which followed his election, the liouvons rang w ith
glad shouts, and every hilltop blazed with bonfires.
It rumindua nutlet the enthusiasm which spread
through tlie Roman States on tho proclamation of
tho amnesty of Pitts IX.
All wont well till tho inauguration, and, although
tlio ohoioo of his Cabinet took tho country by sur
prise, despite the fact that General Pierce declared
it to be u unit, yet its elements seemed to lie any
thing but homogonoous. But hitherto till that
waa known of the new President was in his favor.
lie hud becomo endeared to tiic nation by the ter
rible bereavuiment be suffered in tho loss ot his
son. iio was affable and familiar to all; he bad
boldly avowed his determination, in all his acts, to
stand firmly by the constitution, the compromise
of 1850, and tho national Democratic party, lie
could not havo given stronger pledges; tlie' Uniun
men desired no stronger pledges; and from Wash
ington’a time to ours no President had ever been
favored by so fair an opportunity to win lasting
fame.
“ But it soon bocamc evidontthatGeueral l’icreo
had adopted a falso, feeble, and fatal policy, as tlio
guide ot his administration—namely, to unite ull
tactions by bestowing honors and emoluments up
on their leaders. This was his idea of uatiouali
ty and a national democracy. He committed that
mistake which no public man ever committed
without ruin, lie said Ida friends for tlie sako of
buying his onemios, and thus lost them both. He
either abandoned or neglected nearly all tho great
men oi the country who had saved tlie Confedera
tion in the fearful agitation of 1850, and ho be
stowed noarly all tlio great and profitable pluoes in
his gilt unon thoso fuctioniits, north and south,
who hud boon tlio original loineuters of abolition
ism on the ono side, and of disnuion and secession
on tho other, No men who had distinguished thorn
selves as friends of the Union wore taken into his
councils; aud tho Government, in nearly ail its
department-, is now, with few exceptions, in the
hands of those men who became notorious only ns
the avowed cuemieeof tho pcaco measures of 1850
—mousnros which Genera! Pierce had oflou declar
ed could alono save the Union at that trying crisis
—and men who General Pioroe declared should ro
coive no countemmco or favor from him, and who
should ho looked upon with distrust and suspi
cion by every true friend of the country.
This policy is nnmistakeably manifest now ; and
it is fust Working out itß inevitable results. Every
national Democrat iu the Union has become hos
tile to the Administration, ami it finds that in
leaning upon tho fuotions on which it has shower
ed all its favors it is leaning on a brokem reed.
General Piorco has no party now. The Freesoih rs
of the free States have abandoned none of their
ground or their principles. They suspended their
agitatiousund intrigues and active hostility against
the law and constitution only long enough to get
place and power, and then grow more virulent and
factious than over. The Disunionists of the South
havo taken exactly tlio ame course, and among tlio
thousands of both, Gcu. Pieroo cannot point to a
man of them in whom tlio country has confidence,
and lie is, doubtless, now convinced that by giving
these tactionists his favors and confidence he has
tnude no now friends for himself, aud lost his old
ones—that, instead of allaying agitation, he ha •
actually revived it when it was dead, that, instead
of consolidating tho Pcmocratic party, ho has hope
lessly dismembered it.
Tho most mortilying weakness is thus stamped
upon the Administration—something often more
fatal to a Government than the boldest iniquity
Whore wickedness uudermines one Ministry,
weakness prostrates u score. The broad contras’,
all this offers to tho bold policy of General Jack
son is a matter of universal remark, and its effects
are working themselves ont quite last ouough.
Your readers must not tall into a .mistake here.
1 attach none too much importance to this unwise c
and wrong distribution of office and power by our r
President. Office here means just what it does >
under mouarohies—power. The political power ol
the United States is now in tho hands of the ene- c
tnics of the Union, just as far as tho holding of «
office is by the constitution put in the bauds ot the i
President, besides, there ib ono rule established .
by our political experience which has no excep
tion—the fate of everyone of our Administrations
lias been dcoided by the manner in which the of- 1
tieial patronage of the Government has boon dis- <
tributed. Tho opponents of a triumphant party 1
never look for its favors. It is expected that the
friends of a new President will -hare his eonit- ,
deuce ami tavors. Therefore when Dfanvionists
and Free-oilers have from the beginning been re- 1
cciving by far tho largest share of office and place 1
Gen. Pierce could bestow, iboy have been quite as i
much surprised as havo their opponents. They
did not expect favors—they did not, in most in
stances, ask for them—and now they do not hesi- s
tate to avow with greater boldness than ever their t
obnoxious and dangerous principles. Very lew (
promiueut men have received what they desired,
or got It when it would have been acceptable. Men 1
by the hundred have been given offices for which i
they had little qualifications, while tho ablest na
tional Democrats havo been insulted by the tender
of offices tar below their station and merits.
This party explains the position of embarrass
ment and mortification in which Genera! Pierce t
now finds himself. I havo been as brief as possi- (

PBXSENT — LIVELY CAMPAIGN.
The stump speakers in Georgia on both sides,
i are laboring with extraordinary activity among
the people. Their xeal and energy can only be
compared with the energy and xeal of the mtnis
. ters at a Methodist camp meeting. The entire
commonwealth of Georgia, including the swamps
of the seaboard, the pine barrens, the uplands and
the mountains, is under the high pressure exeite
l ment of politics scarcely attainable in more north
erly latitudes without the steam power of a Presi
dential election.
The two parties in the field are the Union party,
[ whose candidate for Governor is Charles J. Jeu
i kins, and the “reuuited demooracy,” whose candi
date is llersebel V. Johnson. The former was s
i leader of tho Union party of 1851, which, com
pounded of whigs and democrats, carried Howell
f vobb into the Governor’s chair by a sweeping rna-
I Jority ot some eighteen thousand ; tho latter in
r that campaign was a champion of the secession
i party, which waa formed mostly of democrats,

The Georgia democracy are reunited, based upon
ti-e «diuitle<i ascendency of the secessionists.
They have a secessionist a? their gubernatorial
rundidate; but mark you, they stand upon the
Baltimore platform—they sweet by the inaugural
-and, as they have good substantial reasons to
hi, are deeidediy wc:i pleased with tbo adminis
natioti, ail excepting Governor Cobb, whose posi
' an continues to be a perplexing individual exccp
tioi. of considerable hurdxhipand anxiety. But he
:s in the ring, back again among the democracy,
nud whatever the issue of tho impending election,
: o will ut length have made good a claim upon the
iiititorities at Washington.
The Marietta (Ga.) Advoe- le, ia describing a
democratic mass meeting at Kingston, fa settie
icnt in the same neighborhood wo prosumo,) says
that—
“ There was on the speakers 1 platform an array of
talent equal to any we have ever seen upon any
-irnilar occasion. The speaking could not well
nave been surpassed, covering a* it did the whole
ground, exhibiting the positions of tho two cat di
late;: and the two partita and their respective
•laim* upon the people oi Georgia. The speakers
were Joim YV. 11. Underwood, Gen. Hugh A. Ha
raison, 11--l . Herschel V. Joiuison, Gov. Cobb,
Gov. ai 1 Donald, lion. Ab.-aloC' H. Chappell, and
Uon.M.J. YVcllb'-.ru. Tho occasional showers of'
rain wlueh fell during tho speaking did not Intel ■
rupt the continued attention of'lhc assemply. It
would bo out of the question for us to attempt to
give even an outline ol the arguments of the sove- '
ral speukers.”
Here it will be . n that poverty and politics
make strange bodleliuw*. Tl is Gov. McDonald, if
wo mistake not, was the secession opponent of 1
Gov. C« bb for the governor.- hip ot Georgia of 1
1851. Wc do not often find such diverse mate- (
rials mingling together upon the stump with such
enthusiasm that the “occasional showers of rain
which fell during the speaking did not interrupt
th« continued attention of the assembly.”
Such appears to be the temper of the canvass
throughout tlie state. But the enthusiasm is not
confined to Gov. Cobb and hia secessionist allies.
The Union party are quite us lively, if not a little
more so, and h ive tlie advantage oi fighting upon
the offensive, from the unbroken consistency of
their position now with their position of full two
yea re ago. Crtain rumors, also, appear to have
reached Washington that Jenkins may possibly
prove to lie moro than a match for Johnson, and
we shall not be in the least degree surprised if
Johnson is swamped by Jenkins. Party reorganiza
tions may be ordered; hut where they conflict with
the consistently of principles a good many plain,
old-fashioned people, in tlio “rural districts, wii!
bo very apt to hold bulk, at least till they see how
the tiling works.
Wo uru afraid, too, that the split recently decreed
by the re-divided democracy at Syracuse, will opo
ruto U* tiie prejudice of the reorganized democracy
of Georgia. In its turn tlie Georgia election of
October will have a powerful influence upon ours
of November. Should Mr. Johnson be elected in
Georgia, that result will react to the advantage of
tho soft shells in New York, and vies versa. In a
word, the last chance to the adiuinstrutiou for tlio
practical enforcement of democratic harmony
lunges upon tho Georgia election. In this light
tlie local canvass in that State rises to tho dignity
of a national issue, involving the iccanstructionor
reduction of the national democratic party rank
and file. A fortnight or so will settle the ques
tion.
Dix, Garvin & Co.—Another Letter.
This now firm, in their anxiety to acquire a little
notoriety in Goorgia, have submitted to the public
a second letter from Mr. Dix, which they hope may
aid tho oloetiou of the Secession candidate, John
son, and cement more closely the coalition of tlie
Frecsoiiers and Secessionists. The late hour at
which this document fell nndor our observation
precludes any extonded comment upon it, even if
wo deemed it of sufficient consequence.
Mr. Dix persists in denying that he was ever an
Abolitionist. This is particularly adroit as he was
nover charged witii lliatoffoneo. He however does
not explain how he happened in 1813, to vote for
CiiAiiLiis Fiuncis Aiiams, of Massachusetts, for
Vico President, an Abolitionist of tlio Garrison
School, nor docs ho attempt to explain away that
beautiful sentiment uttered by him about “a cordon
of free States surrounding the South, aud compelling
Slavery, lilce a scorpion encircled by fire, to sting it
self to death /”
Any allusion to these little matters might have
required somo explanation, which might not have
been satisfactory to his new allies.
Ilia second subject is Frecsoilism, on which lie
shows himself quite as good “ a northernmun with
Southern principles’ ’ as Mautin Van Buren, hut
strange to say he omitted all mention of his having
voted for the Wilnuit Proviso/ —all allusion to the
banner under which ho opposed Cass in 1818, on
which was inscribed, “ Free Soil, Free Labor,
Free SrEEcu, and Free Men.” He was equally
oblivious oi his oft repeated declaration that,
“ the Wilmot Proviso is constitutional ,” and hia
continued and unvaried opposition to the Com
promise, in all shapes because it did not oon
tain a prohibition of shivery in the territories of
Utah aud Now Mexico. These were little epi
sodes in his history, which the General very
graciously omitted all allusion to, mid his gen
erous and kind friend and partner, “ private
Citizen ” Garvin, would not expose, otherwise the
embraco witli his brother Dix might not be so cor
dial aud fraternal—the coalition between him and
his now associates, the Prcesoilcrs, might bo for
ever sundered.
But why need we occupy our time aud spaoo with
a notice of this letter, from this infamous Free
soilor— a man who has done as much to poison the
minds of the people of NewY'ork and tho North
upon tlie subject ol slavery as either, Van Bcren
or Seward. And yet ffo is now hold up by men,
who two years ago pronounced him and his “ac
caned alliances as a most proper man for South
eru men to fraterniau witli. Does “ private Citi
zen' I'’ 1 '’ Garvin aud his Freesoil and Secession asso
ciates, think the people of Georgia “-fools," that
they would insult them by such a monstrous pro
position, us an intimate political association with
such menus Dix, Vuoom, Brown, Maloney, Grey,
Caul’EELL, and thcwlioloFroesoilpack; ox“huices"’
that they would barter their birth rights, their
country, thoir own genic! South and their honor
lor such a coalition. It is an insult, a gross insult,
and so tho voters of Georgia will pronounce at tho
polls.
John A. lUx—The Columbus Times. „
The Colnmbua Times, a journal thut “hated tho tl
Union as it did hell itself,” copies on article from m
tho New York Time# to prove that John A. Dix “is .*
a foo to Abolitionism; a Irie id to tho Compromise ; u
and upon the whole, a more striet constructionist oi
than Mr. Toombs.” b '
OurCoiumbus cou'cmporary, must bo driven to n
desperation, to be forced to oall to its aid tho testi- b
many of such a i’rccsoil organ as tho Now York tr
Time., a journal that has from the beginning rival- “
ed the New York Tribune in its i reesoil tenden
cies. Tito Columbus organ of the new coalition of
Frec-oiicrs and Sccc-sionists, however, admits
that I'ix voltdfor the iniwc-f Proviso ! and adds:
“Now, let it bo distinctly understood that nci- l<
ther Dix, Yroom, or Brown arc any favorites of
ours; we do no - , endorse them; wo would have
prelerred that office bad not been given to them.” u
This is certainly treating its witness, tho New b
York Treusoil organ very cavalierly, afier it had 3
come to hi- aid aud conclusively established that
Mr. Dtx was so much better a mau than Mr. Toombs! 1-
Verily, this is cool, uni our only astonishment is, 1
that tho new coalition of Froesoiiers and Sece-- 1
sionistsdo not convince themselves and the world ‘
that Mr. Dix u, andhasalicajeb-en, a betterfrieud 1
ot Slavery and tho Compromise, notwithstanding c
his avowed hostility to both than Toombs and eve- 1

Event* of a highly interesting character have
I j been transpiring in a neighboring State, within a
tew days pant, which have attracted the attention,
, not only of thoae here and elaewhere who watch
the political signs of the times, bntol the Presi
dent himself, and nis constitutional advisers. Von
will at once understand that i allude te the pro
ceedings of the too Democratic Stale Conventions
j held a few days ago at Syracuse, New York,
i Thoae who acted together, and in apparent harmo
' ny and concert last year, in the Presidential elec
tion, are now at opeu war. It muat not ba infer
red from their having supported the same candi
dates last year, and from their both going into the
Baltimore Convention together, that there was
really any more nnily or love between them than
there is now, or than there has been since the
“ Free soil" portion went off upon the Buffalo
platform and for Van Boren in 1818. No; the
Utter never acknowledged that act to be a politi
cal Bin, end have consequently never confessed
their fault nor aaked forgiveness: so fsr from it,
they bout of the set end glory in it to this dsy.
The two sections meted together last year upon s
fcoll'w trace patched ap for the oocaaion; they
were hungry tor spoils, and united to run down
the game, trusting each to their own good lock
end good management to obtain for themselves
the whole carcase, or at any rate, the lion’s share,
which, as , very one at ail conversant with New
York politics knows, hu fallen to the lot not of
the true, staunch, old-line Democrats, but to the
more canning, adroit and fortunate seotlou known
as the “Barnburners,” “Free soilers,” or “Softs,”
or the followers of Van Buren; while the other
section, headed by that indomitable old Democra
tic paper, the Albany Argus, and by Daniel S.
Dickinson, Ute U. 8. Senator, have been treated
with a degree of neglect and indifference most un
expected, unaccountable and mortifying.
As to the result of the meeting of the party in
Convention, or Conventions, at Syracuse, I need
not speak; it is, thst two distinct State tickets
have been nominated—one by each section of the
Democratic party, each claiming to be the true,
genuine and legitimate Democratic party of the
State. Which ticket will be elected, if either, it
were idle at this time to inquire, since this is to
depend very much upon what course the Whigs
in that State shall take—whether they shall act
harmoniously together, or whether, ss 1 think
will be the case, they, 100, shall divide, the “Free
soilers" or “Sewardites” going by themselves, snd
the “Silver Grays,” “Nationals,” or Fillmore men,
acting by themselves. This matter will be deter
mined when the Whigs come together in State
Convention at Syracuse, ou the sth day of
October. My present opinion is, that a com-
plcte sohism will then take place in that party,
and that the “National*” will be inclined to sus
tain the ticket nominated by the old line Demo
crat*. These two section* of the two old parties,
you are aware, are now, and were in 1850, Com
promise men. They have uniformly opposed the
agitation of the Slavery question, and stood up
fearlessly for the constitutional rights of the
South. It is to them that the South is indebted
for the passage of the Fugitive Slave Bill, and for
the enforcement of the law since its passage;
while the “Froe-soilers” of both parties—the Van
Bureu men of the Democratic party, and the Sew
ard men of the Whig party—have heretofore
made fierce and bitter war, not only upon the Com
promise measures, but upon those who advocated
and sustained them; and this is the issue between
the two sections of the two parties now. The
“Free-soilers” are not exactly Abolitionists, bnt
they are all Wilmot Proviso men, opposed, gene
rally, to the execution of the Fugitive Slave Law,
and in favor of repealing it as soon as they can get
the power to do so.
It will now bo said, in defence of the “ Freesoil
ers,” who are the favorites of the present Admin
istration, and are defended by the Union , that
they have swallowed the Baltimore Platform.
True, they have done so at their late convention,
for the first time; but under what circumstances?
They were written to, it is alleged, by Mr. Marcy,
and informed that they must come square up to
the Baltimore line: upon what penalty? Why,
the penalty of losing the offices that had been so
liberally bestowed upon them by the Administra
tion, and of being “cast into utter darkness.”
Under this state of things, is it to be wondered
thatthoy voted for the resolutions prepared for
them? Not at all. But why did they not vote for
these resolutions last winter, or last spring, when
brought forward by Mr. Taylor, in the Legislature?
Why liuvo they swallowed resolutions now, as
John Van Boren said he did, without looking at
them, which they have heretofore violently and
scornfully opposed? Cun any man be deceived
into the belief that they have really rnd honestly
repented, und suddenly, as it were, in the twink
ling of an eye, became converted ? Credat Judaeus!
Timeo Danaos, et dona ferenles. Will the South.
trust these “Greeks” und their hypocritical, dis
sembling professions t If they do, they will bo
betrayed, and will deserve to be.
General Clark, of Washington county, made a
speech in the old line Democratic Convention, in
which he entered into a review of the history of
the “ Barnburners,” or “Freesoilers,” from 1848
to the present time. “In the convention of 1851,”
ho stated, “ the Committee on Resolutions were
out 25 hours, while the delegates were doing no
thing. And what was the difference of opinion
at that time ? Why, it was whether the Compro
mise measures should be approved of. And who
was the Chairman of that Committee—the person
who refused to support those measures? Why,
tho very man who said he spoke ‘ by authority ’
and represented the Administration, Mr. Coch
rane. lie, Mr. C., refused to endorse the Com
promise at that time, and has refused to do so
ever since. [Cries of ‘ Trne,’ ‘ true. 1 ] He said
he woald bo silent, bnt if called upon to say any
thing, he must refuse to give his assent to the Fu
gitive Slave Law. And he is the man, who, hold
ing an office worth S4OOO a year—Surveyor of the
port of New York—comes here and attempts to
bully us by saying he speaks by authority. Is
this the way freemen are to be insulted and bul
lied?”
But there was more “bullying” than by officials,
and language; pistols and knives were exhibited
by the Tammany b’hoys, and threats to use them
were given out, reminding one of a scene at Oo"
lumbus, when Mr. Toombs spoke with pistols by
his side. There seems to have been a striking
resemblance between these “ Freesoilers” of the
North, and “ Fire eaters" of the Sonth, who are
both acting in concert, and warriDg upon all who
supported and support the Compromise measures
—both ( untamed by the national administration,
which upholds one in its right hand and the other
in its left, bestowing offices and patronage upon
each in uustinted measure, and only demanding in
return fidelity to itself, not to the country, for its
lavished favors.
Will the South standby W&friwU in New York
or will it permit them to be crushed to the earth!
I know that you can render no material aid, but
you can speak out, and a kind, approving word
may do much to cheer and encourage those who
have heretofore stood by you, in their present try
ing contest. And if you do not stand by and cheer
them, who will stand by the Sonth hereafter ? The
“ Freesoilers," the Van Borens, the Giddingses,
the Chases, the Preßton Kings, the Hales, the Hor
ance Manns, the Albana Atlas, the N. V. Evening
Post? Make the fatal experiment and see. Can
it be that the South will condemn and disgrace
Daniel S. Dickinson and those who refuse to join
or act with your unrelenting enemies. I cannot
behove it.

Mr. Dirkiason-The Administration.
WABHINOTOM, D. C., Sept. 90, 186*.
1 presume that neither Mr. Daniel 8. Dickinson’s ,
letter, in reply to the disingenuous article in the
Union assailing him, and Vainly endeavoring to '
make him out a Wilmot Proviso man, nor the very '
timely and just expose of the unfairness and in
justice of the Union's attack, by the Richmond 1
Enquirer, has escaped your observation. Both 1
have attracted muoh attention here, and have 1
turned the odium intended to be cast upon Mr. 1
Dickinson by the Government organ, back upon
its own head. The blow aimed at one who has 1
uniformly stood forth in defence of the Bou*h, be
cause he will not now, at the bidding of official au
thority, unite with its enemies, has recoiled with 1
stunning effect. “What purpose," says the Ed
itor of the Enquirer, “ the writer [of the article
in the Government organ] sought to serve, we are
at a loss to divine, but that be meant to sink Mr.
Dickinson in the esteem of the South, is evident 1
from the nature of the article, unless it be unwar
rantable to infer a murdeious intent from a savage
stab at the very seat of life.” And with equal
force and justness he then adds, “Be the blow,
however, the stroke of a felon or friend, ii is not
the less incumbent upon every Southern man, and
especially every Virginian, to interpose in defence
of one who did not shrink from the defence of the
Suuth and Virginia, when they were assailed by
traitoious hands,”
To this sentiment estry Southern mas a*"’ *
every true Southern man, l am
ly and affirmatively will, cordial
vithor" • l _ ...pond; and they can do eo
. ...e least apprehension of any of Mr. D.’a
antecedents; for he has come out and shown that
in respect to the South, his record is clean and un
tarnished ; and that those who attempt to preju
dice him in the eyes of Southern men, by garbling
his speeches, suppressing what does not answer
their purpose, and publishing disjointed extracts,
will themselves be covered with shame and confu
sion, if they have not already become inaensibleto
shame, and the good opinion of boneat men. The
order has undoubtedly gone forth from this me
tropolis, to raise the war-cry every where against
one whose only political ain is fidelity to the Com
promise measures and the South; the cry may be
raised at the North, as I know it has already been
taken up here by the atipendariea and defendants
of the government; but will the order be obeyed
at the South? Will yon, at the bidding of those
holding “ a little brief authority,” and " brief" it
certainly will be, will yon of the South be set on
to cry down yonr friends ? But why do I ask—
the very supposition is an offence, or it mould be
were it not that we now see so many strange and
! incomprehensible things; so many prominent men
whom we looked npon as standing firm and im
movable upon the Union, Compromise platform,
shifting ground, and attempting to kick the plat
' form they stood npon over, as if it were a Cob
-1 house, a mere convenience, and not a permanent
structure of principles.
As a sign of the limes, I note that no man m rs
, Jict here, will openly utter a wcffd in defence of
Mr. Dickinson, however much be VUJ bare sym-
pathized with him in his course in 1850, and up to
the 4th of March last; nor express the least cen
sure of John Van Buren and the “ Froesoilers,”
however war nl) ho may have condemned them
heretofore. Os course there. fan lie no r-aeon tor
this, none whatever; it Kappna >o be so, that is
all; besides, it is not to uc supposed that any
American, boasting the freedom of speech aul

Six— It sometimes becomes a duty, however
painful that duty may be, to chide a friend. It is
more painful alter that former friend has lost your
regard, to trace his downward career, and to mark,
one by one, the degrees of infamy from innocence
to folly, from tolly to vice, from vice to crime—
fiotn manly principle and bold denunciation of
wrong, to upa’hy, from apathy to neglect of truth—
from neglect to total disregard of, and open viola
tion of the most sacred and solemn pledges. It is
more paiuful alii, when that former friend has ae
quired position, and by the gift of power placed
himself almost above the reach of censure. You,
eir, although a Democrat, may claim a hereditary
consequence as a descendant of a family not far
removed from royal blood. You have a better
patent of nobility than this for a republican gov
ernment, as your lather assisted in the birth of
our liberties—better still, you have fought your
owu way through Regencies, Halls, Senate cham
bers, and won over fields of pedrigai, to a position
which, when properly appreciated, is the highest
official eminence on earth. These facts should at
tract our attention. The pertinacity of your pur
suit should elicit our sympathy, and your success
should at least qualify our censure. If there be
any combination ot circumstances that ravishes
our admiration, it is the devoted application of no
ble qualities to noble purposes. But if any crime
for crime wo must call it, more than another calls
for our severest reprehension, it is the reckless
and obstinate perversion es these advantages and
their open prostitution for tho purpose of uidiug
private and party aggrandisement at the expense
of private and public virtue. A man whose soul
is too pure for the abode of temptation, deserves
but litt-e credit for chastity or temperance; but lie,
who by his rigid life and still more rigid and ve
hement advocacy of pure and virtuous principle,
first attracts our respect and then commands our
most unbounded faith in his orthodoxy, would
prove himself little less than a monster, should he
gratuitously and without solicitation except from
enemies, fall from his high estate and adopt, with
out promise or hope of reward, tho laliacies and
heresies whioh his whole life had labored to con
demn. You, sir, were,the means, not the cause,
of tbe late triumph of the banded factious which
unrighteously sequettered the “sesame” name of
Democracy. It is said that poverty mako* strange
bed-fellows, and the general bankruptcy which be
fel the trimming classof politicians some two years
since, threw together as hungry and reckless apack
as ever fought for gain. Meeting by appointment
at Baltimore, they constructed a plutform, which
satisfied every opposing section of the Union, and
suited the peculiar views of every jamng faction
and every dissident phase of this anomalous Babul;
a platform which some of thememberscould “both
stand and spit upon.” The consciences of the
members, self-constituted and self-amenable as
they were, were easily satisfied. Nothing was too
pure for the tarnish of their touch—nothing too
low for the exercise of their canning. So flexible
were their principles, that upon the most vital
points of law and governmental policy they
“agreed to disagree,” provided each faotionshould
receive a “proportionate share of Federal patron
age.” Spoils, not principles, wis their object,
and however repugnant to their own conceptions
of right, they unanimously adopted a set of reso
lutions specious enough to entrap the majority, so
necessary for the accomplishment of their nefari
ous designs. You, sir, are the successful creature
of this monstrous combination. You, sir, are ei
ther their equal in crime or their dupe. If the
former, impeachment, conviction and disgrace
would prove too light a punishment. Charity pla
ces you in the latter dilemma. Hasten then to
break with a combination whoso every associa
tion brings disgrace. It was not to bo oxpeeted
that leaders, whose lives were but a history of po
litical corruption would, on the day of victory, lore
go their stipulated reward; but it is passing strange
that a President could so soon so; got his position,
pledges and his oath. You had before and after
your nomination, professed and promnlged the
most Catholic opinions. Pledges, too, og pure as
virtue itself, seemingly—pledges free and unex
tortod, because gratuitous. Sentiments breathing
an ardent and fervent dovotion to every article of
the Confederation and every clauso of tho laws and
Constitution—sentiments, too, whichseemed indi
genuous; which, “like Isaih’s wild seraphic firo,”
seemed to burn purely and spontaneously upon at
least one living altar. In the hour of viotorvyonr
spirit was chastened by the loss of a dear and on
ly son, one in whom all your hopes were centred,
that he might emulate and illustrate the virtues
whioh, so far, had characterized your life. A na
tion sympathised in your affliction, and millions of
hearts heaved with rigbs responsive to a parent’s
grief. You too were greeted on your way to the
capital in a quiet bnt national manner, at every
point where propriety woald allow the privilege.
Your inaugural was theacme. It was tho capping
stone to the culminating point of a political life
which then, for its own honor, should havo ended.
So far, your national record hud been consistent—
your votes, your speeches, your pledges, your sen
timents, your inaugural—indeed ail your public
antecedents, breathed a catholic, a puro andan ar
dent devotion to the Constitution and tho Union.
But mark the sequel. As if to verify tho most
extravagant preditions of your opponents, you
have disproved almost every one of your asser
tions. By distributing office to those who had
bought it by support of you, you both have
exhibited the disinterestedness of your motives
and the purity of your patriotism. The people
plaoed no confidence In the Triumvirs who com
posed the Baltimore Convention, but they boasted
of your promises. To provethe instability of hu
man professions you have falsified the firmest
pledges. Byemployinga “Swiss Guard,” you have
proved yourself venial. With stronger secessions
of powor than any previous President could boast,
you have placed in cavil the strength of the Con
stitution by bribing its enemies by the gift of pow
er and place. A friend of the Fugitive Slave Law,
“not because you were a candidate,” we have seen
repeated attempts to violate it, and efforts made to
impeach the Judges who havo the honesty to ad
minister the law honestly, without provokiugyour
attention. A btate Rights man, you have so far
allowed California to claim and appropriate the en
tire mineral wealth within her borders. To insult
the pride of native Americans, you search for for
eigners to fill the offices. In utter contempt
of the comity which should exist between na
tions, you have insulted Spain by sending to
her punctilious Court as Minister, pending a
delicate question, a French Emigro, whese great
est merit is that be is more than charged with Ja
cobitism and Fillibusterism. Devotedly attached
to the Constitution, you disregard its plain provis
ions by appointing to office a Senator palpably dis
qualified, but who, like the others, hurries off be
tween the sittings of the Senate that he may se
cure the $9,000 of bounty money. Identified as
you claimed to be in sentiment with the Compro
mise, you have degraded it by disgracing its au
thors and supporters and advancing its enemies.
Opposed to Freesoilistn, you have entrusted the
keys of the principal money chest to the Van
Buren Freesoil candidate for Governor of New
York. Opposed to abolitionism, yf q have furnish
ed the means to corrupt the democratic party of
Massachusetts and now they are cheek by jowl
with the enemies of the Union. Charged with ap
pointing Freesoilers to offiee, you reply “ that they
are not guilty of present Freesoilism,” as if he who
committed murder six months since is not as guil
ty now as then. You have thus, with the country
perfectly quited on the day of your accession, in
augurated an agitation which jeopards the Union.
A member of the rigid Presbyterian school, which
in time of the Bcotch Covenanter’s detested poli
cy, you have placed at the disposal ot the Catholic
Bishop a man-of-war ofthe navy, at the very time
too when they are attacking the freedom of onr
educational system. A Puritan in polities, you
openly reward a Jew for using foreign money to
advance your election. A strict construe’ionist of
the Jackson school and endorsing the democratic
platform in its opposition to Internal Improve
ments, you sit by and give the acquiescence of si
lence to the promise of your Secretary of War to
recommend, and of tbe Secretary of the Treasury
to famish the means to build a Radroad which w : "
cost $200,000,000. In favor of Betra--’ .„
Economy, you thus prop-- -ctiment and
tional Guard r ..-e to create a Na
ltr»“'" voting office holders whose
.-gin, of course, would be at the disposal of the
existing administration. Caught io a scheme which
yon fear will result in unpopularity, yon pretend
to say yon will not recommend the Pacific Railroad
to Congress. You know very well that it need,
not the prestige of your patronage. George Law
wanted only 10 day- to conquer Cuba—a less time
wonld suffice for Sim Draper, of abolition notorie
ty, to Rantoulize the Stantons of a Democratic
Congress. A masterly inactivity will not suit the
temper of the times. Do not dodge the issue.
Your object is apparent. Finding Southern men
incompatible, you are buying ap the free democra
cy of Hie North. Yoo have still too much virtue
left te prove a traitor. Quibble then no longer, but
act hereafter as becomes the President, not of a
Baltimore Convention, but the President of the
whole United States.

Upon the press and the public, had not the friends
of the other candidates for the Judgeship ot this
Circuit, respectively presented their ekiu.s to the
office for which they are couicnding.
Every person has tho right, and should coi.siJer
it his duty, to do every thing, honorable, in his
power, for the election ot his frieiid, if he consid
ers him qualified to fill the position for which be
aspires.
i T Col, Johnston, being a young man, and never
before having been a candidate before the people
for any office, renders it necessary to particularize
in order tbft the people may know for wh in they
are voting or voting against. Judge Andrews
r having presided in this Circuit for three eousecu
tive terms of office, is of course well known, i 01.
* Hardeman is also wall known, being al one time
r Solicitor General of the uircuit, and having been a
’ practitioner at tbe bar for many years.
’ In scholarship and talent Col. Johnston has but
few superiors; and albeit he is young, in point of
1 ability, tl.e writer can yield to neither of his com
petitors tho pre-emiuenee. Col. J. is a son of the
Rev. Malcolm Johnston, and was born and reared
1 in Hancock county. He graduated with the high
est honors in the first class that Macon University
turned out, ar.d was the first Alumnus who e.er
addressed the Alumni of said institution ; shortly
after his graduation he repaired to Angus’.i and
attended a full course ot lectures in the Law School
of Judge Gonld, and was admitted to the Bar in
that city. The greater part of the time since his
admission to the Bar, Col. J. has devoted himself
to his profession, and having a mind so wall train
ed, besides a natural talent, that he has made ra
pid progress in the acquirement of legal lore ; and
he is considered by tbe members of tho prolcssicn
with whom he has had tho fortune to mingle, to
be surpassed in cgnl attainments by few, if any of
the younger members of iho fraternity.
Haviug shown who Col. R. M. Johnston i-, and

Col. Milledge—Mr. Jenltint.
Mr Editor—A few days since a correspondent
over tho signature of “Observer” made a very sin
gular and extraordinary expose, through tlieChrou
icle and Sentinel, of the confessions of Col. J n
Milledge on the stump. That writer said, thal Col.
M., who always profoased to uct with and bc'ong
tothe Whig party, actually confessed in a public
speech that “ho voted for Geo. W. Lamar in 1842,”
inoppositiou to Charles J. Jenkins!— and thut “he
did not recollect having voted for Mr. Jenkins
since 1842! 1 ” This sta.emont of “Observoi” us
touished every body of all parlies. For no man,
of any party, had previously supposed Col. M:l
--ledge capable of practicing, for a series of yeurs,
such a systematic course of duplicity as ho thus
confessed. For eight to ten years he went regu
larly to tho polls and deceived alike Mr. Jenkins,
hiß friends and opponents. Certainly, unless Col.
Miliedge’s memory is greatly at limit, his conduct
has no parallel. Hence, all men of all parlies
hoped that ho would be able to relieve himseif b.
a prompt denial; but up to this time tho public
expectation lias been totally disappointed. Col.
Milledge has not protended to deny the statements
of “Observer,” that I have heard or seen, ami his
long silence must bo regarded as an admission ol
their truth. This is struuge, pussing strange! Col.
Milledge had not only always professed to be a
supporter of Mr. Jeukius, but had successfully
made the impression upon all parties that he was
acting in good faith. What then must have been
the mortification of his friends, to have, from his 1
own lips, such an admission as that promulgated by ,
‘Observer.” i
As evidence that Col. Milledge had profcs-i- J
the highest admiration for Mr. Jenkins, and stool
pledged to his support, allow me, Mr. Editor, to
introduce the following letter, written by John
Milledge to a Whig County Covcntion, which as
sembled in Augusta on the first day of September,
1849, for the purpose of nominating candidates tor
the Legislature. It is a pointed, explicit letter.
Read it:
Auousta, August 29th, 1849.
Gentlemen Having heard that my name might
probably be brought before your body us a candi
date to represent this county in the next Legisia
ture,l take this opportunity to make u few remarks
in reference to thut matter as connected witli my
self.
i hope I have no selfish ambition to bo grutilied
at the expense of tbc public good. A man who is
not ready at all times to yield his own wislios,
when he can thereby promote the wolfare of bis
fellow-citizens, ought not to be trusted, and de
serves not their confidence.
These are my sentiments,and lam willing, when
necessity demands it, to illustrate them by my acts.
At the approaching session of our Legislature, it
is apprehended that measures opposed to the in
[crests and prosperity of onr oily will bo agitate!,
in which event, who will be more capablo to resist
and counteract such hostile demonstrations, than
our former faithful and influential representative,
Charles J. Jenkins, Esq.
i’ermit mo then, in mis otnergoncy, to direct
your attention, above uil others, to that gentlemuu
whose valuable services at this time, when they
are so much needed, I trust he will not withhold,
and which, with efforts commensurate with their
importance, 1 hope you may bo able to secure.
llis nomination, you know, will be grateful to
your constituents, and to no one of them more
than myself. John Milledge.
As the lawyers often say, “comment is superflu
ous.” This, I think, is one of the eases; and I
leave Col. Milledgo to reconcile this lettor, with his
acknowledgment, that “ho did not recollect voting
for Mr. Jenkins sinco 1842,” and to convince Ins
new allies, if he can, that he is now worthy of their
confidence and support.

Lj.wiUNCirvu.LE, Ga., Sept. 24, 1858. *
Mr. Editor:—By appointment, the Hon. A. i). (|
Stephens was hero to day to address a largo andi
enco wbe came to hear him.
Before the speaking began, however. Col. lieu- (
ry P. Thomas, the Democratic candidate for Sena- ,
tor in this County, made application for lease to
join in the discussion, whioh was readily granted.
Permit me to say that some of his friends, who fore
saw the conseqnonces, remonstrated with him a
gainst such a stop, but the Colonel was inexorable.
Speak ho must, and speak he would. Neither Mr. :
Stephens nor any body else should come here and
tear off the mask of Domocraey and oxpose its de- 1
fortuities, without an effort oil his part to replace t
it. We admire the spirit, but think it worthy of a t
hotter causo. t
According to the arrangement, Mr. Stephens led 1
offin a speech of an hour and a quarter’s length, i
in which he reviewod the history of parties, in that 1
mild, candid, yet bold and forcible mat. nor, which I
characterizes all his efforts. He assigned to men t
and things their proper names und places—spoko (
of the exalted position which Georgia assumed in 1
1850, and the commanding influence which by the <
action of her Convention, she exerted over the <
nation. He attributed to Mr. Jenkins the paterni- i
ty of the Georgia Platform, upon which he now
stood—showed his conneotion with all the impor
tant measures of State policy for tho lost twenty '
years, and demonstrated that lie was a man, whose J
gentlemanly bearing, brilliancy of intellect, com- (
preheusiveness of inind and purity of hoart, ren
derod him every way fit for any office which the
people could confer upon him.
Upon the other hand he showed that Mr. John- l
son had never b3en connected with any important
measure of State or National policy, except the '
movement of the Southern Rights party in 1850 i
and ’sl, and that, although he now repudiated the
doctrines of disunion and secession which some of
the leaders of that party ptomulged, still, from his 1
Coarse at that time he was, at present unfit to gov
ern and nnworthy the honors to which he aspired.
During the progress of iiis speech Mr. Stephc s
threw ont several well bated hooks lor Col. Tiio
mas to biteat, one of which was the Algerine Law
He would not disease this question unless his hon
orablc friend should introduce it. This said, Mr.
Stephens sat down. The Colonel then arose, m d
alter endeavoring to excuse himself, begun to
swallow the hooks which bad been set for him
and continued to take them down, ono at a time’
until all were gone. This done, the Colonel began
to flounder and flounce, like a fish, darting off in
every direction. He abused every body and the
rest of mankind, except President Pierce, bis ap
pointmente and his supporters. “The Washing
ton Übion said that the President wonld appoint
no man to office who at the time of his appoint
ment, was the least tinctured with opposition to
the Compromisean J the Colonel bad “no doubt
but that all of them had signed a bond to that es
feet;” (I wonder if ho was in earnest ?) When the
Colonel picked ap the Algerine hock he mouthed
it for some time, and when it was swallowed doubt
less be thought tbat he had given Mr. Jenki-*
thunder and perfectly demolished little All-'' ’
concluded his speech by telling tbe * -*• Be

do so conscientious!-• -onnson, if they oonld
tor himse/e ’ j ; but he wanted them to vote
—■" j wnether they could do it consistently
with their consciences ot not; then he sat down
We opine that bnt few who heard the Colonel can
vote for him without some conscientious scruples.
Mr. Stephens then arose in all the majesty of his
great mind, and for abont one hour and a half en
chained the attention of his audience with that
sonl-cheering eloquence, which occasions liki- >
I this, when charges are made against his political
friends, never fail to call forth. I will not follow
! him through the whole of his speech. Suffice it
to say, that all who heard him were compelled to
' accord to him and his canse tbat iust meed of ho
nor and respec. which the effort demanded.
Every ODe sympathised with the Colonel, and
* were sorry that he persisted in hia error. His own
' political friends were doubtless satisfied that he

Liquor Argument at Crawfordrllle.
In reply to “Justice,” I would merely say, that
if the position which the speaker took w>« not
such as 1 stated it, then there was no sense in the
argument, unless he was merely begging a ques
tion in order to delude the mini's of his audience.
Nobody pretends that the majority have a right
to govern a minority contrary to the Constitution
or the law; because the majority have the right
and the power to change or alter, either the one or
the other, as they may find b»t to conduoe to the
happiness and proeperity of the whole, the gov
erning principle being always the greatest good to
the greatest number, without infringing npon the

Weekly Report. Tuesday, P..M.
COTTON.—The demand tor the better Masses of Cotton
reported in onr last, has continued throughout the week
just brought to a close, while the middling and common
and poor grades are more neglected and are now amost
unsaleable, and as these sorts constitute the bulk of the re
ceipts factors bare found exetediog difficulty in making
sales.,l he receipts continue on a very moderate scale. We
quote:
Inferior and Ordinary 7 ©8 ( , „
Low Middling to Middling.... B*® f Tel7 du "'
Good Middling @lO I active de-
Middliog fair— @tt>X ) mand.
Tilt' CHOPS.—The week just closed has beenmnch
more favorable tor the growing crops, the weather having
been dry, which has greatly facilitated planters in gather
ing, and had a good effect upon the plant and fruit.
TRADE AND BUSINESS continue to Improve as the sea
sonjtdvances.and we observe daily signs of an increasing
trade.
GROCERIES— Except in the articles of Salt and North
ern Gin, both of which have advanced, we noie no change
in the current prices of Groceries. The stock of Coffee is
I ght and prices are stiff. The supply of Sugar and Molass
es Is abundant, and our quotations are sustained.
PROVISIONS.—The demand for Bacon continues very
good. A choice article is scarce and it is almost impossible
to obtain fine Hams. Our quotations give a correct idea
of prices. In the Flour market we note no change in
prices.
GRAIN. —The demand tor Corn is confined to the wants
of the city principally, and prices are barely sustained. A
lot of much siae would not command over 66c., sacks Includ- I
ed. In Wheat there is no change.
BEEF AND HOGS.-Grass Fed Beef is worth 4j*c., and
Stalled 6@6j6c. Shouts ol 60@75 lbs. command 6@6jfc. I
$1 lb. No demand for large Hugs. There are no Sheep In I
the market. There is a good demand tor all.
EXCHANGE—The rate tor Checks on the North is X I
cent. prem.
FREIGHTS.—The River continues in Dae navigable con- I
dition, and sur steamers bring hill freights. The rates I
have undergone no change.

LIVERPOOL, Sept. 9, — Cotton. —The samedulinesscon- I
tinues to prevail in the Cotton market as for many weeks I
putt; yet prices are maintained without any marked or I ,
quotable decline, though the bulk of the sales are effect, d I
.it prices rather in favor of the buyers. The unsettled and I
unsatisfactory state of the relations between the opera- I '
lives and the millowners is probably the main cause of I
the present want of demand, for while few of the latter I 11
class feel assured of their men continuing to work, there I 9
can be little disposition shown to lay in stocks of the raw I 0
material. f a
trade at Manchester contin-esquiet; Money is in de
| mand at 4 per cent, per annum. The settlement of the
Eastern question appears again to be involved in doubt
These circumstances have uo doubt some effect in pro
ducing the present dullness in tho Cotton market. The
I sales of the week are 32,690 bales, of which 8.120 bales on
speculation and for export, leaving 84,470 hales to the
trade. The market to-day is quiet. Balesfidlhbales. We
quote:—Fair Or cans 6jf, middling 6>»d. Fair Mobiles

Corn Market.—ln the early part of the week the Corn
market was much depressed, but at to-day’s market then
was a better feeling and a portion of the previous decliue
was recovered. The decline in the week Is about 8J pel j
bushel on Wheat, and fid to is per bbl. on Flour, Indian
Corn lias risen fid to Is per quarter; but at this advance
there Is little doing.— A. Denlstoun <fc Co.
LIVERPOOL, Sept. 9, 1868.—Our circular advices ot
the 2 I distant per Niagara, icported the Cotton market
as closing that day veiy quietly, with sales of 8,000 bales
No change was apparent un Saturday, the business being I
estimated at 6,000 bales. Ou Monday (the Africa's advices
being to hand meanwhile) there was a large show of Cot
ton on offer, and inducements were held out to purchasers I
without swclliog the sales beyond 6,000 bales. Tuesday’s I
operations were limited to 4,0 Hi bales, the market being I
decidedly fiat. Although coocesslona were submitted to
on Wednesday, the results were unimportant, and fated I
to tntluence a larger extent of business than 6,000 bales I
No improvement was manifested in the transactions oi I
yesterday, which were estimated at 6,000 bales. Holders I
thr. ughoutthe work have offered their stocks freely and I
exc. pting in qualities at 6‘j to 6*. wh eb are scarce, last
week’s curremy is barely maintained. Speculators and I
exporters are comparatively idle, the operations of the I
I liter being eontined to tho execution of small orders pre- I
vi us to tiie dose of the season, and the former deterred I
by the dearness of money and the doubt overhanging the
future from extending tb. ir purchases.
The total saes of ihe week, (as per details In annexed I
st tement,) amount to 82,600 bales, of which 2 490 are to
speculators and 5,680 to exporters, and include 25f90
'tales of American, of which 2 190 are to speculators and I
6,i 60 to exporters, leaving 24,470 bales of all kinds to the I
trade.
I he import for the same time is 10,492 bales, of which I
6,146 are American. '

The market closes very quietiy to-day, with estimated I
sales of 6,000 b iles, at the lowest rates of the week. I
In Manchester and Hie manufacturlngdlstrlots generally I
much controversy exists between mailer and man, which
tends consider ,bly to interfere with the ordinary course ol I
irade. While “strikes” ureon the Increase, the demand I
’or Goods and Yarns has seriously fall.n off, which ren- I
dtrs tiie position of producers perplexing, and oonse- I
quently with a limited export demand, prices of all ar- I
tides favor the buyer, although from the lightness of I
Woeks t litre is no particular desire manifested to s.U. I
A cessation of the demand for export to continental I
markets, and a much improved state of weather, has
cause i u retrograde movement in our Grain market I
end induced many spec Haters to resell parcels recently
purchased. The demand being thus confined to local ac
count, and restricted in exient, prices have given wav I
fully 4 M7O lbs. on Wheal, and 1 $ bbl. on Flour.—
II right, Candy Co.’s Circular, I
HAVRE, Sept. 7.—Yesterday oar Colton market was I
again dull, and tho sa es did not exoeed 500 bales. I
To-day, the same dullness prevails In the market, and
the tran-actioDS are about 800 bales, at Irregular prices I
Several holders pressing forward tbtlr stock, while others 1
are not willing tollers below the pr.seot rates.
Th- demand for Flour has been moderate. American
produce sel sut f 4 @4O 60 per bbl in bond. The current '
prices lor Wheat are i7ii@,2 per sack of 2011 kill.
